Overview
Named after the Davisville Village's founding postmaster, who also helped create its first public school, the J. Davis House Condos has some high standards to live up to. Fortunately, a strong co-development team consisting of the experienced Mattamy Homes and the family-run Biddington Group of Companies ensured the expert execution of this boutique building at 1955-1985 Yonge Street in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, at the corner of Belsize Drive.
The Toronto-based Graziani + Corazza’s modern design for the 9-storey J. Davis House Condos is stunning. Completed in 2018, the structure’s façade along Yonge features a clean design, consisting largely of grand glass panels, with some deep private balconies and red brick accents. As such, this contemporary edifice is respectful of the warm ambience of Mount Pleasant’s older and more traditional architecture.
And to further accommodate the active community, 1955-1985 Yonge Street contains some alluring retail space at ground level, framed by sophisticated stonework nonetheless. These businesses are not only convenient for those living in the building, but they also add to the neighbourhood’s already charming commercial scene.
Conversely, facing away from Yonge, the J. Davis House Condos’ west side features a series of step-backs adorned with some sizable private terraces, as well as multiple large, luxuriously appointed common outdoor spaces.
Access to these terraces — one outfitted for barbecues and the other featuring cabana seating centered around a fire-pit — make up just part of the attractive amenities offered to residents. Those living in the building can also access an exercise room, a party room, a sauna, guest suites, and a lobby featuring a concierge service and a chic lounge as well.

Share of occupied homes, by the era they were built in. Bars are drawn against the busiest era, not against each other, because the eras are not the same length. The eight shares are unlikely to total exactly 100: Statistics Canada rounds each era's count to the nearest 5 before publishing it, so we print what the census reports rather than adjusting a figure to make the column add up.
